important is indeed the correct severity here. Bugs that only affect
arches (and lets assume for the moment that kfreebsd-* and stuff are arches
until our tools can handle it otherwise) that aren't released and aren't
planned to be released aren't RC. Once an arch is considered for
inclusion in release they can be upgraded (which is probably happening
to the AMD64 specific bugs soon, when it is finally in the archive).
